The Life and Times of Daniel Benton

In 1720, Daniel Benton built a home in Tallinn, Connecticut. He had three grown grandsons who lived in the house with him. One of them took an interest in a young woman named Jemima Barrows. Elisha was captured by British forces and sent to prison on Long Island. But when he came back from war suffering from smallpox, she stayed behind as his nurse.
